New story - Henry Metelmann. I concluded for this one he ought to tell the story himself so combined extracts from his book with the 1997 BBC History file video with structured qus.
This story does so much not just on youth but also terror, control & disciplinary thinking.

Pupils know I support @mancity.com & to be honest, they’re not doing great. So today the kids have come for me, in lessons & in corridors.
While that’s been tough, the opportunity to share a common interest, to laugh, to joke & to banter, is great for building relationships outside the classroom.

As we prepare for a new week at school, I know that some pupils will remember the time I told them off last week, whether it was for behaviour, homework, punctuality or attitude to learning.
My job is to pretend that none of it happened, give everyone a fresh start, & hope they do the same for me 🤞

Great to reconnect with so many historians on here! Thought my first post should be connected to what I get asked most. ‘How do you make your PPT’s look like that?’ So here’s my ‘Tips and Tricks’ reference sheet! #historyteacher

I teach 6 different classes, and in the first few weeks of the year there was 1 that definitely challenged me quite a bit. Big gulp (and prayer!) before they walked in each day.
Now? Hands down my favorite classroom community.
Reminder-to-teacher-self: Be patient. (The best things take time.)

Next week, I'll be talking at the @1972shp.bsky.social event about the importance of Local History at both KS3 and KS4. Thanks to @danlyndon.bsky.social for this opportunity. I'm going to talk about why local history is so important for connecting students with their own communities.

I attempted a Starter Pack! I’ve seen several of these for the education world, but the folks who teach K-12 history teachers need to lift each other up — it’s just going to get harder to insist on good history. Let me know if you want me to add someone! #edusky #sschat
